DIEGESIS: Jurnal Teologi implements a peer review process to ensure the academic quality, originality, theological relevance, and scholarly contribution of every manuscript submitted to the journal.

All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial screening. At this stage, the editorial team evaluates the manuscript’s suitability with the journal’s focus and scope, compliance with the author guidelines, originality, manuscript structure, language quality, and basic academic standards.

Manuscripts that successfully pass the initial screening are assigned to qualified reviewers whose expertise is relevant to the subject matter of the manuscript. DIEGESIS: Jurnal Teologi employs a Double-Blind Peer Review system, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain confidential throughout the review process.

Reviewers evaluate manuscripts based on the following criteria:

1. Relevance to the journal’s focus and scope.
2. Originality and contribution to theological scholarship.
3. Clarity of the research problem, objectives, and argumentation.
4. Appropriateness of the research method or theological approach.
5. Quality of biblical, doctrinal, historical, practical, and contextual analysis.
6. Depth of discussion and critical engagement with relevant literature.
7. Relevance of the findings or arguments for theology, church, ministry, and society.
8. Accuracy of citations and references.
9. Structure, coherence, language quality, and academic presentation.

Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the editor may make one of the following decisions:

1. Accept without revision.
2. Accept with minor revisions.
3. Accept with major revisions.
4. Resubmit for review.
5. Reject.

Authors are required to revise their manuscripts in accordance with the comments and recommendations provided by the reviewers and editors within the specified timeframe.

Revised manuscripts will be re-evaluated by the editorial team and, when necessary, returned to the reviewers for further assessment.

The final decision regarding the acceptance or rejection of a manuscript rests with the Editor-in-Chief, taking into consideration the reviewers’ recommendations, the quality of the revisions, the scholarly contribution of the manuscript, and the publication standards of DIEGESIS: Jurnal Teologi.
